The big mystery here is what you don't get about how easy it would be to beat Commentator around two turns.

Tell me what he does if someone enters a rabbit. Tell me why it's going to be different than the '05 Woodward.

the 05 woodward is the ultimate excuse race... he could have bounced anyway, even without a rabbit, and there were 2.... and as you already know the chart reads under attack, they destroyed him that day...

Yes they did. And what's stopping anyone from doing the same thing the next time he tries two turns?

nothing anyone says will convince me he wont have a huge year this year, and that he could be still the best horse in the world.

I think everybody agree's that he has the potential to have a very good year, as long as he is not challenged at the front end (which we also all know will not happen).

You claim to want to listen to peoples advice on here and become a better handicapper, and then you post something like this? Doesn't seem like you are taking in what others have to say.

Maybe they remember him going longer... ahhh 4 or 5 years back.
Maybe they think he can return to that form.
I would just stick him in races he does best in NOW.
